GIRLS ONLY GLOBAL ORCHESTRA

After-school workshops

Do you want to have the chance to perform and write your own music? If you are girl aged from 11 years upwards living in and around Gravesend then this is your chance!

ShivaNova is currently seeking interest from girls aged 11years upwards to participate in a series of after-school workshops to take place in Gravesend in May for over 20 weeks. The workshops will cover Djing, Asian Percussion, voice, and creative instrumental music-making and offer the chance to create pieces and work with cross-cultural and contemporary styles using a huge variety of instruments ranging from sitars, tablas, percussion, to saxophones, flutes, strings, keyboards, and music programming and Djing. There will be numerous chances to perform in different events and festivals both locally as well as in Kent and elsewhere in the UK.

GoGo has already started workshops during school-time in 3 schools in Kent: Northfleet School for Girls, Axton Chase School, and St George's School. This project has been made possible by funding from Arts Council South East, Paul Hamlyn Foundation, Awards for All and support from Kent Music Schools (KMS)
